![Hacker News Comments in Vim](https://github.com/adelarsq/vim-hackernews/raw/master/screenshots/vim-hackernews-item.png)

Uses [cheeaun's Unofficial Hacker News API](https://github.com/cheeaun/node-hnapi)
to retrieve home page stories and comments and
[FUCK YEAH MARKDOWN](http://fuckyeahmarkdown.com) for rendering HTML articles
as text.

Basic Usage
-----------

* Open the Hacker News front page in Vim by executing the `:HackerNews` command
* The HackerNews command takes an optional parameter to view items other
than the top stories on the front page: `ask`, `show`, `shownew`, `jobs`,
`best`, `active`, `newest`, `noobstories`, ``, or ``
* Press lowercase `o` to open links in Vim
* Press uppercase `O` to open links in default web browser
* Numbered lines with story titles on the front page link to the story url
* Comment lines on the front page link to the comments url
* Press uppercase `F` to fold current comment thread
* Press lowercase `u` to go back
* Press `Ctrl+r` to go forward
* Execute the `:bd` command to close and remove the Hacker News buffer

Enhanced Motions
----------------

Uppercase `J` and `K` are mapped to helpful new motions based on what type of
content is on the screen:

* Move to next/prev item when viewing the front page. (If the cursor is on a
numbered line with story title the cursor will move to the next/prev numbered
line with story title. If the cursor is on a comment line it will move to the
next/prev comment line.)
* Move to next/prev comment when viewing comments.
* Move to next/prev paragraph when viewing the text version of articles.
